We are getting matchy-matchy up in here. And somehow it works out looks-wise AND flavor-wise. These taste complex and lovely. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click HERE for the first post, and check back for recipes 3 and 4 in the next couple weeks! The salsa recipe is from Annie’s Eats, and she’s so right about it being salmon’s BFF. It’s magical really. And don’t even get me started about green…
I feel weird seeing someone I know at the gym. I’m not a gym-hottie. I’m more of a sweaty betty. It’s funny, though, to wave at that someone-you-know after you tried to pretend you didn’t see them after they pretended to not see you. But it’s totally ok to twinkly-finger wave at them as they leave and you’re climbing a mountain via treadmill. However, it’s not awkward to top everything with a crumbly topping. It’s…
These recipes are all thanks to my mom! She’s quite the baker. And can you believe she’s even in town at the moment?! We’re hanging out in the kitchen Sunday, and I’ll totally fill you know what we make. Coffee Cakes + Muffins Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake – crumby top, swirly middles, oh yeah. Sour Cream Coffee Cake – a bundt with a bunting! My mom’s favorite. Bran Muffins – my mom used to make these in mini…
I think Fergie would like this pizza. She’d probably sing about it as her “lovely lady lunch”. She’d probably make Will.i.am rap about it. You see, this pizza is ladylike. It would be the perfect tea-party pizza. (If pizza was served at tea-parties.) Although, I’d rather skip the tea and have a peach beer with this. But you can do what you want. Did you know that strawberries could be sliced like that and put…
Sometimes I need a nap in the afternoon. Sometimes I need to confide in my favorite ladies. Sometimes I need a beer before dinner. Sometimes I need to sing along to Lady Gaga. Sometimes I need another coffee. Sometimes I need to bring Elliot with me to get ice cream. Sometimes I need to sit in the sun and get freckles. Sometimes I need to watch true crime shows in front of a fan. This week I…
I love Nutella. So I’m really glad it has it’s own day. I’m thinking about asking it to be my Valentine this year. Cross your fingers for me! I also love pancakes, and so I’ve been daydreaming about these muffins for weeks. They are especially good topped with Nutella. Or, top them with a Nutella AND a banana slice and get out of town, for real. These are mini, so you can eat them like…
I resolve to make a lot of ice cream this year. And I resolve to make swiss meringue buttercream again because it’s fluffy like a cloud. I also resolve to wear an apron so that I don’t get flour and chocolate all over my jeggings. But in non-baking life, I want to try to stop thinking about “what if” situations. It makes things harder. Like “what if I would’ve paid more attention and not put…
I’m just so glad strawberries and rhubarb are bffs. I’d be sad if they had a falling out. It was hot yesterday. Hot and gross and my hair was wavy against it’s will. My fridge let out a gusty wind of cold air every time I opened it, just to show off the fact that it was nice and chilly in there and I was roasting out here. I wore a hat to cover my…

Mix up and refrigerate the pie crust. Run to the store and get more butter. Maybe get some heavy whip for vanilla whipped cream. Maybe the sales associates will assume you’re a very unhealthy person. Maybe they think you’re weird for getting giant bacon dog treats along with the fatty goodness. For sure you get home and finish the making home made pie and the joke’s on them. Don’t forget to “cheers!” your first bite.…
